She also touched on how much the culture has changed since “Friends” and other comedies aired in the 1990s.
“Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life,” Aniston said.
“There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of ‘Friends’ and find them offensive,” Aniston said. “There were things that were never intentional and others … well, we should have thought it through – but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now.” the show’s lack of diversity has long been a hot topic with series co-creator Marta Kauffman expressing remorse about it last year.. “It’s painful looking at yourself in the mirror. I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know better 25 years ago.”
